Cover of Indigenomicon: American Indians, Video Games, and the Structures of Dispossession by Jodi Byrd. The cover art features a stylized, pixelated landscape that transitions into a painted forest scene. A river runs along the bottom, where a figure sits in a canoe. In the background, a wooden palisade, tall trees, and two stork-like birds in flight are depicted.

That's a brilliant point re Sussex, Natacha!

China intimidated UK university to ditch human rights research, documents show Sheffield Hallam University apologises to Professor Laura Murphy for restricting her academic freedom.

The only thing that kind of surprises me about this is that the university management left paper trails that proved Prof Murphy's accusations about censorship and uni leadership's direct negotiations w the Chinese intelligence service.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal article headline titled “The Growing Divide in the Rainbow Coalition.” The subheadline reads, “More gay people are speaking out against the gender ideology of trans and queer activists.” The article is categorized under “U.S.” and written by Pamela Paul, published on October 31, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. ET.

In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community.

It's pure propaganda and gaslighting.

EU pledges to crack down on conversion therapy, LGBTQ+ hate Brussels won’t hesitate to take EU countries to court if they breach people’s rights, equality commissioner warned.

The EU wants to boost efforts to ban conversion therapy and tackle hate against LGBTQ+ people in the face of an increase in attacks against the community.

soon.

"ICE and the National Guard's deployment in June felt like a targeted effort to "dim the light of queer joy" that normally occurs during Pride month."

yes it's very normal

I forslag til statsbudsjett står det at "Forskinga som finst, gir ikkje grunnlag for å seie at pårørande pådrar seg økonomiske problem eller fell ut av arbeidslivet som følge av omfattande pårørandeinnsats"

Dette er underlig å lese for en som forsker på nettopp dette og vet at det ikke stemmer.

"Silje Schevig er et eksempel på at man kan ha så åpent sinn at hjernen faller ut"

subjekt fortsetter å pushe helt avsindig vrøvl om akademisk forskning og undervisning; noe som bidrar til ytterligere og farlig normalisering av angrep på akademisk frihet og forskningsbasert kunnskap, særlig den som går i rette med akkurat den type ideologiske strømninger som subjekt forfekter.

‘The environmental history of European empire doesn’t end with decolonisation. The quasi-colonial schemes of the Green Revolution were as consequential ecologically as the infrastructure projects that had been established under formal colonial rule.’

Ytringsfriheten trumper jo alt, Cornelia.

Choi er symptomet på langt mer gjennomgående og eskalerende strømninger, som nå må få mer generell oppmerksomhet (og Choi langt mindre). Ikke minst hvor sentralt mobilisering mot kjønnsmangfold og skeive er i alt dette. Jeg og kollegaer skrev bl.a. om dette i denne forskerkronikken i sommer:

(+) På tide å ta Danby Chois Maga-vennlige propaganda på alvor På få år er Danby Choi blitt en av Norges mest kjente og synlige redaktører. Den posisjonen bruker han til å renvaske antidemokratiske krefter.

Magnus Marsdal sitt angrep på Danboy Choi i Morgenbladet var heilt på sin plass. Og Choi klarer rett og slett ikkje å svare under debatten i #polkvart i dag. Svært avslørande, og verdt å høyre. www.morgenbladet.no/ideer/danby-...

Choi fullstendig avkledd på nyhetsmorgen, som en stotrende trettenåring som har lite sosial erfaring og sett litt for mye på tik tok. Bra.

Over 50,000 cis women have signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social open letter rejecting the narrative that trans women are a danger to women.

The real threat to women has never been trans women. The real threat to women is male violence.

150 - Anine om Riksen sin uetiske forskning Podcast Episode · Trans Norge · 10/21/2025 · 33m

I siste episode av Trans Norge-podcasten forteller jeg om forskningssaken vi har avdekket.

Pedro Pascal at an outdoor protest holds a bright red and yellow sign that reads “NO KINGS ONLY QUEENS” with a black-and-white photo of Divine and Trump. Pascalis wearing glasses and a yellow T-shirt, pursing their lips playfully while pointing at the sign. They stand among a crowd of people holding various protest signs; the scene appears to be in a city street on a sunny day.

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

This is a highly informative and timely introduction to the ways in which anti-gender movements mobilize to undermine gender equality and democracy. It's 13 minutes very well spent!

What’s so special about 3.5 percent? 5 million people protesting for democracy is a very big deal

When nonviolent social and pro-democracy movements reach a certain critical mass, they overwhelmingly tend to succeed. Read our democracy-by-the numbers analysis of how protests can break an autocrat’s illusion of invincibility: https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/whats-so-special-about-35-percent

Opinion | Our Politics Differ, But We Agree: Trump’s ‘Compact’ Violates Academic Freedom Using federal funding to dictate who colleges admit and what faculty can say crosses a dangerous line.

⭐️⭐️ Scholars of academic freedom agree: “To immunize ideas based on political standards is to impose an unacceptable test of ideological conformity. Nothing could be further from the spirit and ideals that we, despite our differences, seek for American higher education.” ⬇️

For å kunne bekjempe fascismen må vi vite hva den er Ytre høyre har aldri stått sterkere enn de gjør i dag. Mange av aktørene som har bidratt til denne erobringen, og som nå gjør alt de kan for å normalisere den, vil insistere på at de ikke har noe med ...

Har stor respekt för Greta och rörelsens beslut att ge en enda journalist hela historien. I lugn och ro, en stor publicering där även de kritiska frågorna får plats tillsammans med fakta. Job well done.
